A close relative of the adorable Unicorn Trails Baby Sweater, but knit for a larger child. Using a DK weight yarn, and sized for children aged from 2 years up to 10 years, this fun and striking knit will please both the knitter and the wearer!

The seamless unisex cardigan is knitted from the top down and features pockets and a contrast edging. The simple stranded yoke uses small amounts of four different contrast colours and looks beautiful in any combination…how about making a matching pair for siblings?

Suitable for knitters with little to no experience of stranded colorwork (fair isle), the pattern is fully written out, with only a small chart (3 stitches wide) to show the pattern motif.
